Elmer, Bugs or the Coyote, who cares. As a former police officer and the father of a current serving officer I can tell you that there will be cheers of joy and relief that this joke of the judiciary has moved on.

This is a celebration of Australia as we know it. Pat O’Shane has shown that the daughter of a Irishman that liked a drink and a mother from Malay Town in Cairns was able through her own ability to succeed.

She has no choice, Merilyn. All NSW magistrates must retire at 72. It’s a pity that someone who made some substantial contributions in the first part of her working life is ending it so controversially because of the chip she carries on her shoulder.
